High-tech auto glass factory a sign of hope in Elkin

Date: 13 May 2014

Folks in Elkin and state leaders alike called a high-tech auto glass manufacturing plant a sign of hope for a part of the state that’s been battered hard in recent years. Gov.

Pat McCrory and other officials cut the ribbon at the Pittsburgh Glass Works plant on Friday, and said they look forward to the time when the plant increases production, maybe even doubles the size of its Surry County operation.

The company makes side and rear window auto glass for Honda, Toyota and Ford, and sometime next year will start making windshield glass.
